Having an ongoing volcanic eruption less than 50 km from my home doesn't change anything in my daily life except that I need to be aware if there is a chance of smog made up of gases such as sulfur dioxide. So wind is the key factor.
People are rarely killed by the lava from an eruption. If you are close enough the gas can be immediately fatal.
Eruptions beneath glaciers can cause massive life threatening floods.
The most frightening immediate danger is the pyroclastic flow.
It is, to quote Wikipedia:
> a fast-moving current of hot gas and volcanic matter (collectively known as tephra) that flows along the ground away from a volcano at average speeds of 100 km/h (30 m/s; 60 mph) but is capable of reaching speeds up to 700 km/h (190 m/s; 430 mph). The gases and tephra can reach temperatures of about 1,000 °C (1,800 °F).
This is what killed the people of Pompeii whose shapes have been preserved for the enjoyment of tourists.
None of these are the deadliest aspects of a volcanic eruption.
Long term pollution and a far reaching drop in temperature as well as other changes in weather, caused by gas expelled into the atmosphere, killed an estimated 20-25% of the population of Iceland in the aftermath of the 1783-1784 eruptions at Laki. It likely attributed to crop failures and famine in India, Egypt, Arabia and even Japan.

Esta mañana ha comenzado un nuevo episodio eruptivo en #Grindavik, #Islandia. La erupción fisural (la emanación de lava ocurre a traves de fisuras longitudinales, como véis) ha comenzado hace un par de horas, y podría ser más voluminosa que anteriores recientes. #vulcanismo #geología #ciencia 🧪⚒️

They're apparently aiming to reopen the #BlueLagoon a week from now. How? I have no bloody idea...
I mean, first off, are they scheduling the end of the #eruption? I mean, one eruption lasted 54 days. Active lava flows block the route from the north. Are they planning to come in through #Grindavik

RT by @CopernicusEU: The SO2 from the #Grindavik #volcano reached #Greenland.
As forecasted by @CopernicusECMWF CAMS the transport of SO2 from #Iceland moved Southward reaching #UK & #Scandinavia, while to the North touched Greenland, as shows the #Copernicus #Sentinel5p map on May 31st.

The government of #Iceland is buying up houses in the town of #Grindavík because of all the #VolcanicEruptions nearby. The owners have to clean these houses before they hand them over.
So yesterday my wife's cousin (I do know a lot of people who lived in Grindavík) was going to clean her house and was doing stuff on social media about the process. Then the air-raid sirens went off and she had to get out of town fast before the #VolcanicEruption started.
Seems dangerous.

A new 🌋 eruptive episode is ongoing northeast of #Grindavik, #Iceland 🇮🇸
⬇️ The impressive lava flow 🔴 emitted was captured by our #Copernicus #Sentinel2 🇪🇺 🛰️ at 13:04 UTC, less than 10 hours after the beginning of the event on 08.02.2024

In Island wird gerade faktisch die Stadt #Grindavik aufgegeben, in der 1% der Bevölkerung wohnen und die wichtig für die Wirtschaft ist (Fischerei und Tourismus). Auf Deutschland übertragen wäre das so, als wenn Frankfurt am Main oder vielleicht Köln evakuiert und final aufgegeben würde.

The first houses in #Grindavik are being consumed by the new fissure that opened.
The fissure has since converged to a splatter cone, lava is moving towards the city center at 63.848737, -22.421809 . -

Falls Sundhnúkagígaröð (Sundhnúkur-Kraterreihe) wirklich die Bezeichnung für die neueste Eruption sein sollte, kommen die Nachrichtensprecher:innen diesmal noch gut weg. Aussprache vermutlich in ungefähr so:
Das erste U als Ü, Betonung auf dieser Silbe.
Das h gehaucht beim Wechsel von d auf n.

According to geology professor Shawn Willsey, in Grindavik today, they detected SO2 - a volcanic gas.
It doesn’t mean the eruption’s imminent, especially since the most violent of the magma intrusive processes (e.g., the earthquakes and ground cracks) along the dike have subsided, so it’s not pushing upward so forcefully. But at this point, it is believed that the magma’s maybe 1/2-mile beneath the surface.
